Students may soon be able to purchase breakfast items at Chick-fil-A after a decision this week.
Chick-fil-A corporate officials will make a decision Friday about whether the Chick-fil-A in Tom and Brenda McDaniel University Center will be approved to sell breakfast items, said Michelle Gaffney, director of retail.
If breakfast is approved, Gaffney said they would hope to have it ready to go by Spring Break. Chick-fil-A officials would need time to adjust facilities and staffing for the new option.
“If we get approved, we will have the full breakfast menu,” Gaffney said. “I will be diligently working on it as soon as we get a decision.”
Molly Sykes, mathematics education senior, said she is in support of Chick-fil-A breakfast.
“I’d want the Chick-n-Minis. That’s like my favorite thing,” she said.
A breakfast menu could improve business, Sykes said.
“I can see why they wouldn’t get it if it wasn’t as popular, because I know a lot of people skip breakfast, but I think if I knew there was Chick-fil-A breakfast, I’d want to come,” she said.
Many students would appreciate having an early morning option, Sykes said.
“I’m an athlete, so I leave my house at 5:30 to get here, so sometimes I’m really hungry after practices. Lots of athletes would like that and lots of people get up early,” she said.
E. Blaze Stark, history/political science senior, said he thinks people would enjoy breakfast.
“It’d be nice to have. I’m not exactly losing sleep over it, but it’d be a good option,” he said. “The biscuits are good. It’d be a nice addition for those who like it.”
